Ruud Van Nistelrooy made a strong decision. The one who was appointed to the Leicester sidelines last December decided to rule out Harry Winks of the team for the shock against Manchester City, lost 0-2, says The Telegraph. The English community would have refused to modify its long daily journey of almost 160 kilometers to participate in intensified training sessions requested by the Dutch coach. The former PSV coach wanted Winks to spend one night a week at the club's training center in order to maximize the preparation, which the player refused, causing an altercation deemed to be heated.
A conflict that occurs in a difficult context for the Foxes, 19th of the Premier League after a new defeat (2-0) against the reigning champions. The absence of Winks in the match against City seems to be a clear message: no right-way, even for executives. It remains to be seen whether this hard line will be enough to avoid relegation or precipitate new internal swirls.
